4.0 CONTROL PANEL

Before switching on
Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in FOCA POINT’s installation
instructions.
After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the appliance to the mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant gasses that may
have been disturbed during the transportation process to settle.
The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent
and water.
The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior and
accessories should be thoroughly dried after the cleaning process has been completed.
There may be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
You should set the displays to their maximum settings for 24 hours after switching on the appliance for the first time.
When you first turn on the appliance the compressor will run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge/freezer
reaches a cool enough temperature.
During this period of time you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
You should then adjust the displays down to their desired temperature.
If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5 minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
connecting it to the mains supply.
You switch on the appliance by connecting it to the mains supply and setting the thermostat. The thermostat displays are located on
the control panel, which can be found at the top of the Fridge/freezer.
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the Fridge/freezer, depending on which setting the thermostat control
has been set to.
The refrigerator can maintain a temperature of between (-1) and (10) degrees centigrade.
The freezer section can cool down to (-30) degrees centigrade.
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the temperature of the food and the amount of food that has been placed in
the appliance and how often the door is opened will affect the temperature being maintained by the appliance.
If the displays are set to a low setting such as (-1) degrees for the fridge and (-25) for the freezer, then the fridge/freezer sections will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature. There is no need to run the appliance on the lower settings.
IMPORTANT: if you run the appliance with the temperature controls on lower settings for prolonged periods, the defrost drain
hole will freeze. It may also cause the appliance to overwork and the fridge and freezer sections to freeze over.

5.0 USING YOUR APPLIANCE GB IE
Figure 5
5.1 TURNING ON THE APPLIANCE - AND SETTING THE THERMOSTAT

Warm food or evaporating liquids should not in stored in the refrigerator as this will increase the humidity inside of the appliance.
All foods should be wrapped or covered. This is particularly important if the food has a strong flavour. You should use polythene bags
or sheets, aluminium foils or wax paper. iquids should be stored in covered containers or bottles.
To maximise the space inside of the fridge section, any excessive packaging on the food should be removed.
Quickly perishable food should be stored at the back of the refrigerator where it is the coldest part of it and should not come into
contact with the back of the fridge.
No food items should be allowed to come into contact with the back wall of the refrigerator.
Make sure to arrange food in such a way that the door can close completely. Particular attention should be given to the bottles that
may protrude when placed on shelves inside the main section of the refrigerator.
Some organic solutions such as acids in lemon/orange peels and oils in butter can cause damage to plastic parts contained inside the
refrigerator.
Do not open the refrigerator door too often or leave the door open for long periods of time as this will increase the temperature
inside of the appliance.
Meat should be wrapped in polythene bags and then placed on the glass shelf above the salad drawers.
(Meat should only be stored in this manner for one or two days at the most)
Cold dishes/cooked food should be covered and can be placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned thoroughly and placed in the salad drawers.
Cheese and butter should be placed in airtight containers or they can be wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags. As much air
as possible should be removed from the bags.
Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the bottle shelf that sits in the door.
Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight containers
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
The freezer compartment temperature must have already reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store
food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food that can
be frozen within a 24 hour period is indicated on the rating plate of the appliance. You should not attempt to freeze more than this
amount of fresh food within a 24 hour period.
Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment then
the increased humidity will cause ice formation and increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed in regard to the maximum storage time.
Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.
If power is cut to the appliance then the food inside of it will be safe for a maximum of 24 hours. You should minimise the number of
times that you open the doors of the appliance during this period of time.

6.0 STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE & FREEZER GB IE
6.1 THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Freezing fresh food
To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food specified on the rating plate you should follow the “Freezing using the super frost
setting” section as per below on page 9 a few hours prior to freezing.
For smaller quantities of fresh food then it should be switched on 1 hour prior to freezing as per the below.
Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging. This will help to make sure that the food doesn’t dry out or lose its
flavour. It will also ensure that flavour does not transfer from other food.
The food should be placed in the freezer compartment’s base. Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen.
After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen. If it is, then the super frost setting should be switched off
by pressing the super frost on/off button again. The super frost setting indicator neon will go out.
IMPORTANT: The super frost setting should not be switched on for prolonged periods of time; otherwise it may
cause the appliance to overwork. It could also cause the fridge and freezer section to freeze over.
Tips on Freezing
Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing frozen
food.
Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are suitable for sealing bags and wrapping.
Before sealing a suitable bag you should compress the air out of it as this will help the food more easily.
Flat packages freeze more easily.
If you are freezing liquid then do not fill the container to the brim. iquids will expand when being frozen.
Do not place bottles (glass or tin) containing liquids (especially sparkling liquids) into the freezer as they could cause
the bottle to burst during freezing.
Making Ice Cubes
Fill the ice cube tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment.
After the water is completely frozen and turned to ice, twist the ice cube tray (as shown in the drawing below) to dispense the ice.
Freezing using the Super Frost Setting
If you are freezing the maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in a 24 hour period then it should be switched on a few
hours prior to freezing.
If you are freezing a smaller quantity of fresh food then it should be switched on 1 hour prior to freezing.
Press the super frost on/off button and the freezer will start to run continuously at its maximum setting
The green super frost indicator neon will light when the super frost on/off button has neon switched on.
9©2013 Focal Point Fires plc.
6.2 FREEZER TIPS GB IE
Figure 6

Freezing using the Super Frost Setting
There is no need to adjust either of the thermostat displays.
The freezer temperature will decrease and then appliance will get to its lowest temperature.
Place the food that is to be frozen inside the freezer.
Once the food is frozen you should turn off the super frost setting. DO NOT TURN OFF THE SUPER FROST BUTTON
UNTIL THE FOOD IS FULLY FROZEN.
The green super frost indicator neon will go out and the appliance will return to normal operation.
IMPORTANT: The super frost setting should not be switched on for prolonged periods of time; otherwise it may
cause the appliance to overwork. It could also cause the fridge and freezer section to freeze over.
Installing
Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or next to an oven or other heat sources the energy
consumption can increased substantially.
Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy consumption
by 15%.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Occasionally clean the condenser coils at the back of the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
Defrost the freezer compartment regularly. A build-up of ice decreases the efficiency of the appliance. Defrost whenever the frost
reaches 5mm thickness.
Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the
efficiency of the appliance.
Usage
Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you have to.
Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree can affect the energy consumption by 5%.
The freezer compartment should operate at -15 to -18 degrees centigrade. The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 degrees
centigrade.
Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance (but do not let it sit at room temperature for too long).
In the freezer compartment, food packages should be scattered and never grouped or stacked together until they are completely
frozen.
If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the appliance, empty and clean it then leave the door ajar.

7.0 SAVING ENERGY WHEN USING THE FRIDGE FREEZER
6.2 FREEZER TIPS - CONTINUED GB IE

WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it.
The refrigerator and freezer compartment should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
After washing the appliance wipe over the area that has been cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the mains plug.
The defrost drain hole
Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The defrosted water is collected by the
evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
The drain hole should be cleaned periodically. This will prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator instead of
flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean the defrost channel.
IMPORTANT: You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can
interrupt the automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of the refrigerator.
Use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water to clean the evaporation tray.
IMPORTANT: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on the back wall of the appliance. The formation of ice droplets does
not indicate an appliance fault.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost
that builds.
IMPORTANT: The freezer compartment should be defrosted at least twice a year. The number of times that you
need to defrost it will depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the
freezer compartment.
The day before you defrost, you should adjust the thermostat displays to its coldest setting or switch on the super frost setting. This
will make sure that the food contained in the freezer section is frozen properly.
Whilst defrosting the appliance the food should be removed from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper and
stored in a cool place. The food’s rise in temperature will shorten it’s storage life and therefore the food should be used within a
relatively short period of time.
DO NOT PLACE FOOD BAC IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT THAT HAS STARTED TO THAW.
11 ©2013 Focal Point Fires plc.
7.1 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE GB IE
Figure 7

Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
eave the door to the freezer compartment open. You can place a bowl of warm water inside the freezer compartment to speed up
to defrost process.
Once all the ice that has built up has melted then inside of the freezer compartment should be dried thoroughly. Failure to do this
will result in immediate ice build-up when the appliance is turned back on.
With dry hands, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply. Set the temperature display to it’s maximum setting or switch on the
super frost setting for 24 hours.
You should not attempt to freeze fresh food inside the freezer compartment until this 24 hour time period has elapsed.
Once the 24 hour period has elapsed, you should set the temperature display to its normal operating temperature or switch off the
super frost setting.
Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices (e.g. hair dryers). Do not use sharp metal objects to
remove the ice on the freezer, as this could cause damage to the refrigeration system.
All parts removed must be retained to carry out the replacement of the LED
panel. Before removing the LED panel, either unplug the appliance or disconnect
the electricity from the mains power supply. Failure to do so could result in an
electrical shock or personal injury.
Remove the screws with a Phillips screw driver.
Remove the light cover by pulling the bottom end of the light cover gently.
Remove the screws on the ED panel.
Replace with a 1 Watt ED light board that is the same size and shape, and then tighten the
screw.
Replace the light ED panel cover and tighten the screws.
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read all the instructions and make sure that the voltage (V) and the
frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The
rating plate can be found on the front left edge of the inside edge of the refrigerator.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer failing to observe all the accidental prevention regulations in
force, which are necessary for use and the regular operation of the electric system.
Electrical Connections
THE FRIDGE/FREEZER IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND PERMANENT INSTALLATION.
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician who is a member of the N I C E I C and who will comply

Please note: This section applies to a fridge/freezer which doors open from the
right hand side. If your fridge/freezer doors open from the left hand side then
installation stages will need to be reversed.
A) Install the application towards the left hand side of the housing unit
leaving a gap of approximately 5mm. As shown in Figure 29.
B) Fix the appliance to the top shelf of the housing unit.As shown in Figure 30.
IMPORTANT: This will help to keep the appliance vertically parallel with the
décor doors.
C) Measure a distance of approximately 40mm between the front edge of the
housing unit and the front edge of the appliance. As shown in Figure 31.
D) Fix the appliance into position. As shown in Figure 32.
E) Trim the side gasket to an approximate size and then insert it into the 5mm gap
that you left on step A. As shown in Figure 33.

F) Fix the bracket that is supplied with the fixing kit into position. As shown in
Figure 34.
G) Fix the flat bracket that is supplied with the fixing kit, on the opposite side of
the appliance. It should be inserted behind the central hinge. As shown in Figure 35.
H) The flat bracket can be inserted behind the central hinge without taking the
hinge apart. This can be done by loosening the two screws, which can be found
behind the hinge. Once the flat bracket has been inserted behind the central hinge,
the screws must be fully tightened.
I) install the slider guides on the edge of the appliance doors (there are 2 slider
guides per door). Insert the sliders into the slider guides. Mark the distance from
the front edge of the furniture door to the edge of the slider. The measurement
should be approximately 20mm. Fix the sliders into position; the screws must be
fully tightened. As shown in Figure 36.
J) Check both furniture doors open and close properly without fouling on the
kitchen cabinet. You should also ensure that the doors of the appliance and the
door seals are shutting properly against the cabinet of the fridge/freezer. As shown
in Figure 37.
k) Installation is now complete.
